We study the quantum Zeno effect in the case when the time intervals between two consecutive measurements are different. It can be called a nonuniform quantum Zeno effect. Explicit examples of the nonuniform quantum Zeno effect are presented. We also show that maximal quantum Zeno effect in the case of a large number of measurements can be achieved when the time intervals between consecutive measurements are equal.
